Action: Letter templates for contacting city councils and mayors

[tassosss]

Policing is super local, so asking for reform and defunding needs to happen at all levels.

You can find letter templates for your city or county here address to councils and mayors, and if it's not on the list, please consider submitting one. It's on github, and to submit you need an account, but a friend with a github account (mostlyinane on twitter) is willing to put them in for folks so put your letter in comments or pm me and I'll get it to her.
